re: #819 Salamantis

All you have to do is go to Richard Lenski’s laboratory and he can replay a spontaneous genetic mutation before your very eyes. And all you have to do to see that apes and humans evolutionarily diverged from common ancestors is to check their thousands of identical artifactual retroviral DNA sequences, showing identical coefficients of genetic degradation (a measure of how long they’ve been spliced in), located at identical locations in the 3 billion base pair genomes of humans and great apes.

With regard to:

1.) The reason Watson and Crick developed their insights into DNA I would remind you that America was discovered because Columbus went looking for India.
2.) That confusing evolution theory with gene theory is odd.
3.) I wouldn’t argue with the idea that Richard Lenski can demonstrate an instance where genetic mutation did something useful or neat but would point out that his is likely to be a highly engineered process.
4.) “The existence of thousands of identical artefactual retro viral DNA sequences demonstrating evolution”. The subject is new to me so I can’t comment on the merits but the odds back an assertion that something’s going to be found well wrong with it soon enough. Any complex analysis that has only its own foregone conclusion as its end undoubtedly harbors many core errors.
